Melbourne is a vibrant city to explore with 4.1 million inhabitants made up of around 135 nationalities, Melbourne is also known as the restaurant capital of Australia as well as its cultural center, represented by the arts precinct.
Street musicians and theatre add another dimension to an already bustling city. Although founded relatively late in the history of Australia, Melbourne soon ‘caught up’ with Australia’s other main State Capitol Sydney, thanks to the Victorian gold rush of the 1850s, which lead to a population explosion and the construction of many luxurious buildings, e.g. the Old Treasury, State Library, Town Hall, Parliament House, Windsor Hotel and many other history-laden sites.
Experience the ‘Paris End’ of town, with its exclusive boutiques, find out about Melbourne’s old arcades, experience the financial center of town, with its many high-rise buildings, see Victorian terrace houses and visit the Italian suburb of Carlton. Enjoy a walk in the park, visit the Cathedral (when permitted), just like if you were in your own city.
After a busy morning of sightseeing, you will be transferred to the airport to join your flight.
